In my last blog post, I revealed that I have gained back 85 of the 115 pounds that I had lost over the past few years. This was tough to admit, but it was easier to publish because I already had a plan in place. At the time of my last blog post, I was already 1 week into my Ketogenic diet plan. In just one week, not only was the weight coming off, but I was feeling really good also. So, now that I am over 1 month into my plan, I'm here to give you an official update.

​Below, you will see my weight loss, waist measurements, and a look into how I have achieved this recent success with Keto.

My Current Eating Plan

So, for the last month, I have been on a pretty strict low-carb diet. To be more specific, I have been LCHF (Low-Carb High-Fat) or Ketognic. The distinction here is that you cut your carbs, but you also moderate your protein. (This is not a high protein diet) In the process, you allow yourself to eat more healthy fats. This has the effect of lowering your insulin and allowing your body to burn stored fat. During this process, your body produces and uses Ketones rather than glucose.

**Side note: I just returned from a week-long beach vacation where I are out at least once a day.**

16.2 lbs lost in 40 days on Keto

I'm very happy with my progress thus far. In addition to the fat loss, I have been feeling really good. My overall mood has improved and I have not felt deprived or hungry like I would on some diet plans.

Next week, I will post more info on my LCHF / Keto plan including what I am eating and how I am doing with this long term. Thanks for reading. Feel free to leave a comment or question below!
